1980’S

It has a lot of fun(can you imagine sharing 1980’s music and culture with two kids from this generation? They thought it was pretty rad.) but it was also a little stressful.

I imagine all art shows are stressful but we only gave ourselves a little over three weeks to get a show’s worth of work done and to try and promote it. We will be having another themed show in the future but we will give ourselves a lot more time to get the work done for it!

Maybe two or three months.

My husband was able to paint twenty one paintings for the show and some of these were pretty big. I painted ten if you count my ACEO sized paintings too.

We have kids and it’s not like we can still stay up all night and still function like we used to do. So I thought everything turned out pretty good,considering.

We will have most of the art up all month but my husband plans to try and sell what doesn’t get bought locally online so not all of the pieces may make it for the entire month.(By month I mean until March the 19th.We tend to change out our paintings in time for our city’s art walk night.)

I plan to film our exhibit today so people not able to go to our gallery can enjoy it too. But for now I’ll share a video that Jonathan made of himself painting his “Let’s Dance” David Bowie.

All in all I would call the show a success. We’ve had more people come to visit our gallery this month,I sold two of my 80’s themed ACEOs and Jonathan has already sold his Micheal Jackson painting,”Billie Jean” to a really awesome lady(and new friend). We have also had some interest in other paintings so hopefully our art will find new homes that will love them.

We will be selling artwork through eBay for pieces that do not sell locally:
